Are your kids too excited about school to get any sleep tonight?

Question

My 5 year old has been laying in his bed since 8-55!!! I just heard him hit the sleep button again on the alarm clock to play more songs... He's going to Kindergarten, normally out by 10 , 10:30 at the latest... I really hope they still give them naps.

Answer 1

well being a kid (14) I am not in any way excited for school lol. all the homework, getting up early, going to bed earlier, bullying, mean teachers etc I could go on forever. o well at least I get to see my friends=)

Answer 2

Kindergarten doesn't get naps, at least not any that I am aware of.  My son gets on the bus at 8:30 and gets home at 3:30.  He is excited to go back (he started last week with 2 days) so he was having issues going to sleep but he is on meds that make him sleepy so he finally gave up and went to sleep at 8:30 tonight, I try to have him out by 9:30 at the latest since he has to be up at 7:30 and there is no napping or even a rest time at school.  It is pretty much non-stop from the time they get to school until he gets home then he is tired but just wants to run around and play after sitting there at school.  

Answer 3

My 8 year old son does the same thing. He could lay in bed for 3 hours and wouldn't fall asleep. I keep telling him he has school in the morning,

all he says is , I know.

It will catch up to them though, a couple nights with not much sleep?

Don't worry about it, he just needs to get back into a routine now that summer's over.
